Privacy Policy

Vinapply ("we", "us", "our") is an AI-powered job-search automation platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our website and services at vinapply.com. We comply with the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (UAE PDPL) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We use your information to:

• Provide, operate, and improve the Service
• Match your profile against job listings and tailor application materials
• Send transactional emails (account confirmation, application updates)
• Send product updates and marketing emails (you may opt out at any time)
• Detect and prevent fraud or abuse
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with:

• Service providers — hosting, analytics, payment processing, email delivery (under strict data-processing agreements)
• Job portals — only the information you explicitly authorise us to submit in applications
• Legal authorities — when required by law or to protect our rights
• Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

We use cookies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and understand how the Service is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the Service.

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time from Settings → Privacy & data. Data is deleted within 30 days of a deletion request.

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS), encryption at rest, and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Data portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format
• Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent)

To exercise these rights, email us at privacy@vinapply.com.

The Service is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we become aware that we have done so, we will delete that information promptly.

Your data may be processed in countries other than the UAE. Where we transfer personal data internationally — including to cloud infrastructure providers in the US or EU — we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (for EEA/UK transfers) and equivalent protections required under UAE PDPL. We do not transfer your data to countries that lack adequate data protection standards without your consent or a lawful basis.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of material changes by email or in-app notice. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.

For privacy-related questions, data requests, or complaints, contact us at support@vinapply.com. We aim to respond within 30 days. If you are a UAE resident and are unsatisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the UAE Data Office (uaedataoffice.ae). EEA/UK residents may also lodge a complaint with their local supervisory authority.
